Ah! David Farragut I believe. I always pass by the square named after him in D.C.

Indeed, he who was lashed to the rigging not once, but TWICE, in the course of the Battle of Mobile Bay. Mainly out of a concern from the crew that he might fall out of the rigging and get hurt, and they respected him so much that they couldn’t let that happen at a critical point in the battle.
